Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 131: The Killer! Heavy Machine Gun Production Line
The top-notch 'Emerald King' is the finale!
Lao Feng Xiang’s strong attack attracted everyone’s attention.

Many small jade jewelry companies have withdrawn from the bidding at this moment.

no way,
This kind of national treasure-level imperial green koi is definitely not something that ordinary jade and jewelry merchants can afford.

Even ordinary wealthy collectors find it difficult to afford it.

According to past auction practices, once a "national treasure-level jadeite" appears, only Asia's richest people or the most well-known jewelry companies can afford it.

At present, the most expensive jadeite sold at domestic auctions is the top-grade violet, known as the "Zhaoyi Star".

It is the finest violet material ever made, and the egg-shaped surface is polished directly from the entire piece without any cutting.

Although it is only the size of a pigeon egg, it is inlaid with diamonds and platinum. As the treasure of the store, it is called a miracle in the jade and jadeite world.

More than a decade ago, the auction price of "Zhaoyi Star" was 600 million.

According to current market conditions, its value has exceeded one billion!

Therefore,
Any of this kind of top-grade jadeite of "national treasure level" will be a rare treasure that is hard to come by.

The longer it exists, the more expensive it will become and it will never depreciate.

This is a gift from nature. Perhaps there will never be another one like it, making it a rare treasure.

"8000 million! The gentleman in position three bids 8000 million! 8000 million for the first time—!"

"8200 million! The lady in position nine bids 8200 million. 8200 million for the first time!"

"——8800 million! 8800 million for the first time!——!"

-

The auctioneer kept updating the price of the 'Imperial Green Koi'.

Every time I shouted "first quote", others would immediately raise their signs to refresh the quote, and there was rarely any time to pause.

This shows that

Many top wealthy collectors and big businessmen want to get the 'Emperor Green Koi'.

Those who can participate in the auction at this moment are all wealthy people with very strong financial strength.

"9800 million! This gentleman bids 9800 million, 9800 million for the first time--!"

The auctioneer's voice began to tremble.

This 'Imperial Green Koi' is probably the most expensive item ever auctioned in his career.

He felt very proud to be able to participate in the auction of this top-quality jadeite.

Over 100 million!

That’s right, according to the current quotation trend, this top-quality jadeite is definitely worth over 100 million yuan.

Any auctioneer who can participate in the auction of an item worth over 100 million yuan is definitely worth bragging about.

Therefore,
The auctioneer continued to stir up the atmosphere, shouting with all his might, bringing the atmosphere of the live auction to its climax.

"One hundred million!"

The old man from Lao Feng Xiang raised the sign again very calmly!

He remained calm and was not shaken at all by the high price.

Wow——!
At this moment, the atmosphere at the entire auction site completely exploded.

"One hundred million! Hiss——I didn't expect to be able to witness a one-hundred-million-yuan auction tonight!"

"It broke 100 million so quickly! It's amazing. It broke the record of the auction price in the past five years."

"At this rate of price increase, this 'Imperial Green Koi' is likely to become one of the top ten national treasure-level Imperial Green jadeite in China!"

"We can only take a look now. We should take advantage of the present moment to see more. We won't have the chance to see more later."

"That's right. Once it's bought at an auction, it will be hard to see it again."

"It's so beautiful! If I had money, I would definitely buy it."

Immediately afterwards, applause broke out like a tsunami.

This is a congratulations on the "100 million" auction, and also a respect for the imperial green jadeite.

The old man from Lao Feng Xiang, upon hearing the applause from the people around him, became even more determined to get the 'Emperor Green Koi'.

The offer of 100 million is definitely not the end point of the price of this "Jade King", it may very well be a new starting point.

In the afternoon, Sotheby's auction house specially invited major jewelers from Hong Kong and the mainland, as well as top wealthy collectors.

How could these people end the bidding so quickly after seeing the 'Emerald King'?

The battle has just begun and will become more intense.

The time to compete with financial strength is coming!
really,

As soon as the old man from Lao Feng Xiang offered "100 million", the person next to him immediately raised the price.

"One hundred and five million!"

The price was increased by 5 million at a time, and the offer of 100 million was immediately refreshed.

The moment of real bayonet fight, battle of wits and courage has arrived.

No one wants to give up, everyone wants to take down the 'Emerald King'!
"One hundred and ten million!"

A wealthy collector from Hong Kong Island did not give up on raising the price.

"One hundred and twenty million!"

The old man from Lao Feng Xiang had no expression on his face and directly raised the price by 10 million.

If you want to get this top-quality 'Emerald King', you must act decisively and quickly without hesitation.

"One hundred and twenty-one million!"

Another wealthy man from Hong Kong Island made his bid with a calm look.

It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his face, but he seemed determined to get this "Jade King".

at last,

A lady who had been bidding very aggressively before had no choice but to put down the bidding sign in her hand.

give up!
The price was beyond her affordability, so she had to give up.

However, what shocked everyone was that the pace of the subsequent price increase not only did not slow down, but it became even more severe.

One hundred and twenty-three million!

-

One hundred and thirty-six million!

-

One hundred and sixty-eight million!

Yang Mei, who was sitting next to Chen Jie, said with a smile:
"There are only five bidders left, it should be reaching the ceiling soon!"

Chen Jie nodded and said, "It exceeded my expectations. I originally thought that it would be amazing if it could be auctioned for hundreds of millions, but I didn't expect it to be sold for such a high price."

This 'Imperial Green Koi' is one of the best items in his inventory.

However, Chen Jie was still very satisfied that the auction price exceeded 100 million yuan.

However, what surprised Chen Jie and Aunt Mei was that the auction did not end but entered the final battle.

The old man of Lao Feng Xiang had no intention of giving up.

"One hundred and eighty million!"

He raised the price again with a calm face, but it seemed that this was his final offer.

If anyone else raises the price again, he will give up.

Now is the final moment of the battle of wits and courage.

Everyone becomes cautious because once they raise the price, if others don’t follow suit, they will have to buy it.

"One hundred and eighty-two million!"

The wealthy collector from Hong Kong Island did not give up.

Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Aunt Mei, and they both couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, the two of them still underestimated the enthusiasm of the top wealthy people for the "Emerald King".

The old man from Lao Feng Xiang finally shook his head and reluctantly withdrew from the quotation.

When the value of this "Jade King" reached 182 million, it was beyond the affordability of Lao Feng Xiang.

of course,

More importantly, this is an auction.

No one knows whether the other party will give up. If you continue to raise the price, the other party will hold on tightly.

It's easy to fall into a deep pit.

Therefore, when the quotation exceeds the company's affordability, it has no choice but to give up.

"This gentleman bids one hundred and eighty-two million! Is there anyone who bids higher—?"

"One hundred and eighty-two million--the first time! One hundred million...--the second time, one hundred million...--the third time!"

boom!
The auction hammer is down!
"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the auction for tonight's finale, 'Emerald King - Imperial Green Koi'!
After the auctioneer saw that the other bidders had given up, he stopped talking and, after shouting three times and seeing that no one else was raising their paddles, he decisively dropped the hammer!
call!
Chen Jie let out a long breath.

A complete success!

All seven pieces of jade and jadeite that were put up for auction today were sold.

The total auction price of the previous six items was 1.6 million.

The auction price of the last piece of 'Jade King' was as high as 1.82 million.

The total auction price was 3.42 million.

Deduct 8% auction commission and 10% consumption tax on precious jewelry.

The actual amount received was about 2.8 million.

At this moment, Yangmei showed an envious smile on her face.

The auction price of the single item 'Jade King' reached 1.82 million yuan, which is rarely seen in national auctions in recent years.

As the auction comes to an end, I believe this 'Imperial Green Koi' will cause a sensation in the entire jewelry industry.

There is no need for deliberate publicity. Once the price is announced and the tax is paid, the news will spread quickly.

When the auction hammer fell, the atmosphere in the entire auction venue reached its peak.

One hundred and eighty-two million!

This is the highest price in the entire South China auction market in recent years.

Wow——!
Throughout the auction hall, everyone stood up and applauded to celebrate the successful conclusion of tonight's jade and jadeite auction.

At the same time, we are also celebrating the wealthy collector from Hong Kong Island who won the final title of "Jade King".

For Sotheby's auction house, tonight's auction was a great success.

This was a special auction of jade and jadeite. There were a total of eighty-six pieces of jade and jadeite, all of which were auctioned off without a single piece failing to sell.

Watching Chen Jie handing over the items to the staff of Sotheby’s auction house.

Yang Mei looked up at Chen Jie's back, feeling deeply moved. This young man seemed to shock her greatly every time they met.

She could imagine that Chen Jie must have more good things.

The seven pieces of jade and jadeite being auctioned tonight may just be some of Chen Jie’s inventory.

Women's intuition is usually very accurate!
From the casualness and calmness shown by Chen Jie, she quickly concluded that there was a huge secret behind Chen Jie.

at this time,

Chen Jie is handing over funds with people from Sotheby's Auction House.

After the funds arrived, he felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but look back.

When he saw Aunt Mei staring at him in a daze, wondering what she was thinking, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Aunt Mei, what are you thinking about?"

Yang Mei woke up with a start, shook her head and said with a smile: "I didn't think anything, let's go! The auction is over."

After coming out of the auction venue.

Chen Jie said goodbye to Aunt Mei and went back to the hotel by himself.

Although Yang Mei's main business is in Jieyang, she has a house in Guangfu City, so she naturally went back home.

In order to thank Yang Mei for her help, Chen Jie would definitely not treat her unfairly, so he directly gave her a fifty-year-old wild ginseng.

The last time I went to the Yunnan-Yunnan border to buy a gun, it was Yangmei who helped provide Lao Yu’s contact information.

This time, Yang Mei introduced Sotheby’s Auction House to the auction.

Having help from noble people on the road of life is like getting the power of east wind!

Chen Jie is still grateful to Aunt Mei.

of course,

The saying "The boy doesn't know how kind his aunt is, and mistakenly treats the girl as a treasure" is circulating on the Internet. This is absolutely the most ridiculous statement.

There is nothing to say about Chen Jie's love for Aunt Thirteen.

But when it comes to Aunt Mei, he has always respected her and never had any other thoughts.

-

Early the next morning.

Chen Jie set off for Hong Kong Island.

He opened accounts with Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC Bank on Hong Kong Island.

Chen Jie's funds in several bank accounts in the mainland have exceeded 400 million yuan.

but,

If you want to transfer funds to a bank account in Hong Kong Island, you need to go through a lot of procedures, which is very troublesome.

Therefore,
Chen Jie did not take any other action for the time being, but directly opened super VIP services for two bank accounts in Hong Kong Island.

Many subsequent financial transactions can be conducted directly through the Hong Kong Island account.

As long as the funds do not flow through accounts in the Mainland, there are rarely any restrictions on funds in bank accounts in Hong Kong Island.

After everything was done, Chen Jie returned to South China and took the high-speed rail to the Yunnan-Yunnan border.

As for the funding issue, it’s enough for now.

What he urgently needs to solve now is [Martial Arts Merit Points]!
The equipment for the small steel refinery must be delivered as soon as possible.

It also includes the production line for mortars and the fully automatic production line for artillery shells.

After arriving at the Yunnan-Yunnan border, Chen Jie directly called Lao Yu to pick him up.

More than an hour later, Lao Yu drove Chen Jie to the back mountain of the village.

Geographically speaking, this place already belongs to Myanmar and Yunnan.

The warehouse in the back mountain has been built.

A muddy mountain road leads into the valley.

The jeep drove along the mountain road for more than ten minutes before arriving at the entrance of the warehouse in the valley.

There were many secret sentries around the valley. At this time, Skinny Monkey and Tomb-sweet Woman Wenrou were already waiting at the entrance of the valley.

Click——!
Lao Yu took out the key and opened the big iron door of the warehouse.

The warehouse is very large and according to Chen Jie's plan, it is also divided into six areas.

The first three warehouse areas are still empty for the time being.

Lao Yu took Chen Jie into the innermost area. They had to pass through several iron doors before they reached the innermost warehouse.

After he opened the iron door with the key, he said to Chen Jie:

"Brother Jie, this is the Browning M2 heavy machine gun you told me about last time. I searched for a long time before I found this old model of heavy machine gun."

"There is a second-hand production line in Pakistan, but the price is very expensive. They asked for 3 million US dollars. I don't have that much money, so I didn't continue to discuss the purchase."

"In addition, the Browning M2 heavy machine gun's bullets are special 12.7mm caliber bullets. If you buy a second-hand production line of this Browning M2 heavy machine gun, you must also buy its bullet production line."

"This thing has been eliminated on the battlefields in the Middle East, but its firepower is quite strong. It can fire 2000 rounds of bullets per minute. The barrel is air-cooled, and the maximum range can reach meters."

"This is the age of drones, why do you need this thing?"

Inside the compartment, there was a modified Browning M2 heavy machine gun.

"Want to try out the firepower? This thing has too much recoil, but when you use it, the impact is still pretty strong!"

Chen Jie looked at the Browning M2 heavy machine guns placed in the warehouse and nodded:
"Is there a place to test the gun here? Will it make too much noise?"

Since we have to carry mortars over, how can we do without heavy machine guns?

This thing combined with a mortar can be regarded as the strongest fire suppression.

The Daqian Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat against the Western coalition forces because its firepower was too poor.

Westerners have developed firepower similar to that of the Gatling heavy machine gun, which is extremely powerful.

Therefore,
It was not uncommon for two hundred Western coalition forces to chase around thousands of Daqian Dynasty soldiers.

When Chen Jie wanted to build a steel mill, he thought about building a "military factory" belonging to the Ximen Tang Yituan!
Not only do we need to build mortars, but we also need to build heavy machine guns, assault rifles and other firepower.

If the latest military equipment were transported there, not only would it consume too much [Martial Arts Merit Points], but it would also be difficult to obtain a complete production line.

Therefore,
They could only move the weapons production line from World War II in the last century over there.

Not only has the consumption of [Martial Arts Merit Points] been greatly reduced, but there is also a fifty-year gap between its weapons and equipment and those of Western powers.

Never underestimate the fifty-year gap in weapons generation.

The gap in weapons generation in the last fifty years of the last century was almost subversive.

"It's okay! What's the problem with testing the gun? There's not many people within ten kilometers. Just shoot. There's a big open space behind the warehouse. You can test the gun at will."

Old Yu said with a smile.

Chen Jie nodded, picked up the Browning M2 heavy machine gun and went to the open area outside the inner warehouse.

Lao Yu and Shouhou helped move a box of bullets to the place where Chen Jie was testing the gun.

Chen Jie took a look and found that there were only three boxes of bullets. He asked casually:

"Only three boxes of bullets?"

Lao Yu nodded and explained: "This machine gun is an antique from the last century. The bullets are all in stock. If you need more, you need to order it in advance."

"If you want more bullets, I can call and reserve some."

"This thing uses up bullets very quickly. If you really want to use it up, you can use up a box of bullets in a few minutes."

"This box of bullets contains 2,000. It's not cheap. On average, each bullet costs 18 dollars."

Chen Jie heard this and didn't say much.

Heavy machine guns are expensive, but they are also the "big killer" on the battlefield!
If there were ten heavy machine guns, they could stop the frontal charge of an army of three thousand people.

Adding mortars, it is easy to achieve "dumpling making" on the battlefield!
Chen Jie set up the Browning M2 heavy machine gun and exclaimed:
"This machine gun is well maintained and looks brand new."

Old Yu laughed and said, "This is a copy from Pakistan. The model and style are antiques, but they were copied not long ago."

"But the bullets are indeed in stock. Most of these are exported to the battlefields in the Middle East."

"Let me tell you this, Pakistan cannot copy the latest high-precision weapons, but the quality of the copies of many weapons from the last century is not inferior to those of European and American military enterprises!"

"You'll know once you try it, the firepower is insanely strong."

Chen Jie installed the bullet socket of the heavy machine gun, lay down to try the trigger, and checked the parts.

Hunk hunk hunk—hunk hunk hunk—!
The Browning M2 heavy machine gun spewed out flames violently at a slope in the open area.

In less than half a minute, the ground was covered with bullet shells.

call--!
Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Very good! The quality is really good, durable, and very exciting to play with!"

Once the Browning M2 heavy machine gun opens fire, it is simply an overwhelming force.

If there was a car instead of a dirt slope in front, the car would definitely be completely blown up in ten seconds.

"Contact the seller in Pakistan. I want the assembly lines for mortars and shells, including the bullet production line for heavy machine guns!"

"Money is not a problem. Let's go to the Laojie Boxing Stadium in Kokang, Myanmar and Yunnan tonight and make some money!"

"By the way, bring more people with you and provide more firepower to increase the deterrent effect."

"Suo Kun from the Laojie Boxing Gym is looking for me so urgently. How can I not make him pay several million US dollars tonight?"

"Hurry up and get ready. I'll try out the other guns. We'll set off tonight--!"

Chen Jie ordered.

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"

Old Yu said excitedly after hearing this.

Chen Jie has almost used up the 1.5 million US dollars he won last time.

I'm going to the Kokang Old Street Boxing Stadium again tonight and I must make a lot of money.

After a while, only Chen Jie was left in the inner warehouse and the empty space in the valley.

He closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensed his surroundings, and found that no one was approaching.

Chen Jie clicked on the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind!
After a few minutes, Chen Jie was completely discouraged.

He kept turning the [Activate] button on and off, and using the process of elimination, he discovered that the Browning M2 heavy machine gun required more [Martial Arts Merit Points] than the mortar.

It takes 2 [Martial Arts Merit Points] to transport a Browning M5 heavy machine gun.

The key is that the bullet consumption is also very large, and each bullet consumes 1 point.

There is no way to transport heavy machine guns in batches.

You know, when Chen Jie carried pistol bullets before, he only consumed 100 point of [Martial Arts Merit] for every 1 bullets!
But now, transporting 12.7mm caliber heavy machine gun bullets consumes so much energy.

It seems that it can only be made there!

The cost-effectiveness of transporting heavy machine guns and bullets is too low.
